Raiders waive DT Bilukidi, claim LB off waivers

Posted on by Steve Corkran

The Raiders waived defensive lineman Christo Bilukidi this afternoon and claimed off waivers linebacker Martez Wilson from the New Orleans Saints.
Bilukidi was from the 2012 draft class that has failed to yield any sure-fire starters. Linebacker Miles Burris flourished last season after an injury to Aaron Curry, but he hasn’t been cleared to practice yet after offseason knee surgery.
Wilson, 25, played in four games for the Saints this season and 33 during his three seasons for New Orleans. He is 6-foot-4 and 252 pounds and played collegiately at Illinois.
Bilukidi, 23, appeared in five of Oakland’s six regular-season games this year. He recorded five tackles during spot duty as a backup. He played in 13 games as a rookie, when he notched eight tackles.

    Martez who? There aren’t any OL who could help us more than a LB right now?

  • RaiderDebo

    Kind of like the guy. Real tall linebacker out of Illinois. Did some nice things early on at NO, but must’ve fallen out of favor with the new defensive staff. Think he can rush the passer.

    Dee Millner, S. Floyd were picks everybody thought we should get….. look at them now, hardly playing. Seems like a crap shoot to me!

    Interesting move…. Reggie making moves… How about an o-linemen….. Reggie working hard under that candid light fixture in IHOP….

    Dunno if Reg personnel decision making on offense is at an adequate level. I have yet to see any draft choices or free agents decision since his arrival regarding the offense that would cause me to say that Reg is doing a good job as GM. I mean c’mon, Streater is his “blind squirrel finding a nut” pick, and that’s the extent of his offensive choice making a contribution.

    Forget “Building through the Draft”, Reggie’s building through Waivers.

  • JOn Wooah

    Martez can play DE, Pass rusher, and LB.. think of a Raw athletic type like SIO moore.. should be able to make some things happen.

    Was with DA in NO..

  • Al_is_theraiders

    yeah…shrek knows talent….

    Re: Martez Wilson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJxypHAvcLA Most of this is pretty pedestrian, and on his sacks and qb pressures it mostly seemed like he was a blitzer who isn’t picked up as opposed to making moves to beat someone. (Nice closing speed and a hard hit on Ponder, though.) BUT, the video saves the best for last, a strip sack and recovery off Alex Smith to go with his strip sack and recovery off Phillip Rivers. Those two guys won’t have forgotten Wilson, and I couldn’t think of a better two guys to say that about. Good pickup!

  • The_Judge37

    Actually, everyone thought we should get Star or a Ansah

    The haters r gonna be all over Reggie for his “miss” on bilokidi. But as far as in concerned we just traded a 6th for a 3rd straight up. It’s not always the pick, but what you generate from that pick that counts. Trade, waiver or cut. Doesn’t matter to me.

    And still, nobody is safe. Including the imaginary group of “Reggie’s guys”.

  • The_Judge37

    Either way, we dumped a 6th round pick and picked up a former 3rd round pick. So it can’t be a bad move unless one of our DT’s goes down.

  • 0ak R8rs

    There it is. Douche bag cowboy fan troll w an agenda alert.

  • Al_is_theraiders

    hate to say it told you so but….

    “Bilukidi was from the 2012 draft class that has failed to yield any sure-fire starters.”

  • 0ak R8rs

    Fair to a point. But bergstrom and Watson r hurt. Both would be starting if healthy most likely. And Murray is hurt too. Can’t fault a guy for not predicting season ending IR. He’s had some bad breaks on the offensive side of the draft.

  • 0ak R8rs

    You mean the 2012 draft where our first pick was #99 thanks to Al and Hue and Mark?

    And bergstrom would be starting. And Burris would be in the rotation.

  • Al_is_theraiders

    the practice squad all pro selector….

  • R8derdiehard

    Just saw jay Ratliff from the cowgirls may be available he wouldn’t be a bad pickup at DT

  • KoolKell

    Cut Bilikudi????? Wow. For a Linebacker where we’re already strong????

  • Nick Gancayco

    Damn Martez Wilson ran a 4.49 at the combine. At 6’4 250 thats fast a fvck. Hopefully we get something out of him

  • SnBG

    I see the haters are here to trash every little tiny thing Reg does. How utterly petty of them. Nit pickers all to a fault.

  • The_Judge37

    No guarantee they’d be starting if everyone was healthy. Also “Starting” on this team doesn’t mean they’re Good.

  • SnBG

    You’re such a girl.

  • SnBG

    BTW, Brisiel is getting some good press. Dkwad

  • KoolKell

    I thought Bilukidi played well…………………….

  • The_Judge37

    ROYMLMAO

  • SnBG

    Not especially.

  • JOn Wooah

    When Martez gets his first sack.. u guys gonna cheer?? or be like.. What about our 6th rounder Biluki!!

  • SnBG

    Whinny whinny little girl.

  • The_Judge37

    I’m happy about the move, Bilukidi was trash.

  • The_Judge37

    ROYMLMFAO

  • SnBG

    You happy Priscilla. No way.

  • SnBG

    Priscilla the whinny little girl.

  • Davy Jones

    6’4″, 252 and a 4.49? Somewhere Al Davis is smiling.

  • KoolKell

    Stacey McGee is already hurt.

  • The_Judge37

    Happy as Reggie in a Pancake Buffet

  • KoolKell

    Patt Simms has been injury prone.

  • SnBG

    Real men eat at pancake buffets. You wouldn’t know that being a little girl.

  • The_Judge37

    ROYMLMAO

  • alex7

    just saw the strip-sack of Rivers. That was the game SD left tackle Gaither didn’t take himself out during the last drive despite injuring himself. He promptly gave up that game-ending sack. At least Martez shows an under dip move on that sack.

  • Raider Al from Atlanta, Ga

    He will not be injury free until 2014. He can’t get cleared to practice or play.

    Far as I’m concerned, absolute peak of LZ is September of 1971. “Going to California” 9/14/71 followed by the ’71 Japan tour, they were on fire.

    Yes but I am looking for a concert in 1976 or 77 with Keith Moon on drums with Bonham called “for badge holders only” have you heard of this?

  • Purvisman/Eternal Optimist
